It is a Friday today and I have nothing in particular that i want to write about, so I think i'll share about what happened today. Let me paint the picture for you. It was in my classroom, 2A, during english period. We were instructed to do the summary section of a comprehension and as usual, we did not do it quietly, but noisily. Suddenly, we heard the ringtone of a handphone and we were wondering where it came from. after a few seconds, eyes started to point in the right direction. It was a guy named Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan excelled in all academic areas and he was those type of students who would never ever cause trouble to teachers. During lessons, he was quite well behaved, attentive and he asked alot of intelligent questions. He also knew most answers to questions the teachers gave. So as you can see, he DOES NOT cause trouble.
This time, however, we realised that the ringtone came from him and we were shocked that he would on his handphone during lesson time and he did not put it on silent mode. Our teacher actually wanted to let him off due to his good conduct during the past lessons, but, our class felt that it was not fair. Previously, we had another classmate who got caught with his phone on during lesson and his phone was sent to Mr Chia for a month. His parents had to write a letter in order for him to get his phone back but it was ordered that he put his phone at home. So, our class protested until the teacher decided to take his phone away.
Im glad that Jing Yuan had his punishment but i also wish it will not be too heavy. I think my class had a big part to play in confiscating his handphone beacause without our protesting, his phone will not be taken away. I am amazed at the unity of my class. I hope that teachers will treat us fairly regardless of grades in future.
